IP#50 Dr. David Downing – Looking for the King on Inside the Pages

Fun and entertaining well-written story…it’s what we hope for when we wish to sit down with a fiction book…here is one that will not disappoint thanks to author David Downing.

It is 1940, and American Tom McCord, a 23-year-old aspiring doctoral candidate, is in England researching the historical evidence for the legendary King Arthur. There he meets perky and intuitive Laura Hartman, a fellow American staying with her aunt in Oxford, and the two of them team up for an even more ambitious and dangerous quest.

Aided by the Inklings — that illustrious circle of scholars and writers made famous by its two most prolific members, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien — Tom and Laura begin to suspect that the fabled Spear of Destiny, the lance that pierced the side of Christ on the Cross, is hidden somewhere in England.

IP#22 Mary Eberstadt – The Loser Letters on Inside the Pages

Mary Eberstadt’s “The Loser Letters” is not your typical apologetic book, and that’s it’s beauty. Intelligent, funny, and so very thoughtful…that’s a great combination. This book is a pro-religious satire of atheism, told from the point of view of a worldly and troubled twenty-something girl. Fans of C. S. Lewis will love this modern day Christian approach to the new atheist. Mary Eberstadt is fantastic…we can definitely look forward to more from her.
